Twenty Megs of Storage Space
In our experience, we've found 20 megabytes of storage space to be more than
enough storage space for the average web site.
Unlimited Transfers
Many web hosting companies limit the amount of "hits" your site can get
at no extra charge. Animus doesn't have an extra fee. There is no charge no matter how
many times people might access your web site.
Unix Operating System
Animus uses Solaris 2.5.1, a UNIX operating system. UNIX is the most popular
operating system on the Internet.
Unlimited updates via your own FTP account
You will have unlimited access via FTP 24-hours a day to set up and maintain your
web site. You can literally work on HTML documents, graphics, and scripts locally and then
upload files to your web site when ready. An FTP tutorial and client software is
available.
POP 3 E-mail Box
A POP 3 E-mail Box allows you to download your mail directly from the server with
a program like Eudora.
Unlimited E-mail Aliases
This feature allows people to e-mail you to anything@ your domain. Let's assume
your domain is ford.com. Your POP 3 E-mail box will receive any mail that is directed
towards ford.com. Some expamples include:
sales@ford.com
webmaster@ford.com
steve@ford.com
info@ford.com
Unlimited Forwarding of Aliases
Our server allows you to forward your mail or some of your mail to other e-mail
addresses. Using the examples above, let's assume you would like to send all mail that
comes to steve@ford.com to his personal e-mail account
that he uses at home. You can easily configure your mail so that any mail sent to steve@ford.com can be forwarded automatically to his
address stevekirk@aol.com. You can do this for as
many aliases as you would like. All mail that is not forwarded will be sent to your POP 3
E-mail box.
Traffic Log Files
We use a program called http-analyze to track the number of visits to each
domain. These log files are updated daily and are quite detailed. You can see a current example from one of our clients.
Daily Backups
We save all of the files on your web sites five (5) times a week (Monday through
Friday) as well as weekly and monthly onto a disk. This will ensure that you never loose
your web site
mySQL
mySQ, is a lightweight database engine designed to provide fast access to stored
data. We provide the tools to create a searchable database. In most instances, custom
programming (commonly Perl) is needed to implement a fully functional web-to-database
interface.
Secure Server
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) allows users to collect data such as credit card information in
a secure environment. Information submitted via a secure form is sent to the server in an
encrypted mode.
E-mail Forms
We use formmail.cgi from Matt's Script archive. This CGI program take the output
from an HTML form and e-mail the results to you. You can visit our FAQ for more information about the features.
Upgradibility
You have the ability to upgrade your account, from starter to standard to
corporate, or you can add features such as additional megs of space, additional ftp/telnet
accounts, etc... Basically, the point is that you're not locked into your original plan.
Our additional services are priced very
reasonably and can be ordered online.
Domain Name Registration or Transfer
Animus will handle either domain registration or transfer on your behalf. The
U.S. governing agency InterNIC
charges $70 to register a domain name which covers the first two years. They currently
bill at a rate of $35 per
year thereafter. Non-US domain registration must be handled by the end user.
Customer Support
We offer top quality customer service via our faqs page, e-mail and telephone
support via our toll-free numbers.
